High Point, North Carolina calls itself, “North Carolina’s International City,” thanks to the annual High Point Furniture Market. The market attracts over 100,000 people every year and is the showpiece of the local furniture industry. The city’s economy has diversified over the past two decades, though, and also includes a large healthcare sector. After work, residents take in local restaurants in a quaint downtown. They also take advantage of High Point being close to both the Atlantic Coast and the mountains.
High Point has an affordable cost of living, but housing prices are going up. The average rent on a one-bedroom apartment is up a whopping 46% from 2021. The median home price is $310K, up 55% since 2021. Moving to High Point may involve settling for less storage space than you might like.
That’s why you should keep self-storage in mind for your High Point move. With so many facilities, it’s easy to find a place that’s close to home. And even if you need a larger unit, self-storage is probably more affordable than you think. If you’re thinking of a move to this furniture capital, make sure you have a space to store your furniture.
